"Mommified" Easy, Delicious Pesto Chicken

Updated: Dec 31

This is THE best recipe.  EVER.  I found the original version here while trying to use up the basil we were growing and induce labor for baby #2, then simplified it even further for those of us who can't make it through nine steps.
This is THE best recipe. EVER. I found the original version here while trying to use up the basil we were growing and induce labor for baby #2, then simplified it even further for those of us who can't make it through nine steps.

 

Here are the reasons why it's amazing:


1) It's delicious.  As in, you can't make it for someone without being asked for the recipe.

2) It's easy.  You can make it even if you're exhausted, stressed, caring for seven babies, whatever. Another recipe that will enable you to graciously take meals to other people, even when your own house is falling apart. Except that it won't be after you try this recipe.

3) It could be pretty healthy.  If you're not the mother of small children, you could have a go at making the pesto from scratch. I don't do that.

 

 

Mommified ingredients:

  • 1 jar of basil pesto

  • 1 jar of sun-dried tomato pesto

  • 3-4 chicken breasts, or whatever number will fill your family

  • cheese if you like it

 

 

Mommified instructions:


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  1. Empty basil pesto into bottom of a 9x12 pan, spread it all across the bottom.

  2. Place chicken breasts on top of the pesto and cover them with sun-dried tomato pesto.

  3. Put in the oven for maybe 30 minutes? I'm not exactly sure, and it depends on how thick the breasts are, so just check it periodically.

  4. Sprinkle cheese on top and put in for a few more minutes at the end.


Feel free to put it on top of rice, pasta, or salad. Or eat it by yourself. Prepare to be asked for more...
